The forces demonstrated in your CYCLONE Gyroscope are the same as those first observed by ISAAC Newton in the 18th. They are put to use today in gyro-controlled guidance and navigation system in ships, planes and spacecraft, accurate mapping and survey work, oil well drilling and even motion picture making. Hold the power of a cyclone in your hand. Easy to start, hard to stop. This gyroscope has been designed to be easy to hold, easy to perform tricks, and easy to have fun. Everything you need is in the box to feel the power!

I’m now planning on releasing standard seal and selling magnetic coupling at a later date. Quite simply the magnetic coupling needs to be designed stronger to handle the torque. Tests are now focusing on efficiency tweaks. Test shown is producing relatively low power but at relatively low pressures (4 bar) gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=TESLATURBINE4Magnetically Levitated Solar Motor - gyroscope.comgyroscopes2022-06-22 | Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): uppbeat.io/t/zimpzon/flashes License code: IQL3BJDUJWTNVYPO
-The first thing you notice about this product is the fact that it is levitating, then you notice it is spinning using just the power from the sunlight! Ultra-strong neodymium magnets keep it levitating, while more magnets and copper coils and solar panels keep it rotating. The 8 panels mean it can easily self-start in any strong light, whether it is sunlight, candles or incandescent bulbs. Each cell only produces electricity when it is facing the light. This eliminates the need for any electric and mechanical connection to the axle in order to transfer electricity.
As each monocrystalline solar panel faces the light source it creates electricity which is fed to a coil hidden behind the solar panel. This becomes electromagnetic and is attracted to the large magnet below the armature. As it pulls the armature round a new panel begins to face the light source and the whole cycle is repeated.
These types of motors are sometimes called Mendocino motors.
BTW: We have sold various solar motor over the past. The build quality was variable. The build quality on this solar motor is outstanding. It polished aluminium and robust.

The vanes in the Radiometer are alternately dark and light in color. When the light strikes these vanes it transfers heat to each one - but not at the same degree. The lighter vane reflects the rays and the darker vane absorbs the rays. The stronger the light, the more energy there is causing the vanes to spin faster. It is important that the vanes are in a partial vacuum. Too much air pressure and the vanes cannot spin. If there is not enough air pressure then heat can't transfer away from the black face to create air movement. gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=RADIOMETERHow amazon rips you off in unexpected ways - Did you even get the product you ordered?gyroscopes2022-06-01 | WARNING: this is just a rant about amazon.

We created our first Tesla turbine in 2005. 17 years ago! It was the first Tesla turbine that could be purchase off-the-shelf and ready to go.
This is our 4th version the Mk4. More power, perfect seals, improved performance, wide number of uses. Can be used with water, hot gasses, compressed air and steam.
Mk1 - First off-the-shelf Tesla Turbine that you could buy MK2 - Metal version which could handle higher pressures. Mk3 - Another metal version will seals (but needed to be adapted to your application). Higher efficiency. Mk4 - On sale sooon.

Speeds of over 3500 RPM are easily achievable, and with practice the rotor can reach almost 10,000 RPM. The best part is that the gyro can be sped back up at anytime without any need to stop the rotor and attach a motor or string meaning that there needn’t be any break in play!

A Halbach array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets which increases the magnetic field on one side of the device while cancelling the field to near zero on the other side. It is the closest you can get to a one-pole/monopole magnet. In the diagram below, the magnetic field is enhanced on the bottom side and cancelled on the top side (a one-sided flux). You can buy one here: gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=CIRCULARHALBACH#Machining of the Tesla Turbine - MK4gyroscopes2022-02-21 | Our first Tesla Turbine was made in 2005, this is our 4th Tesla Turbine which has been designed with customer feedback and experience making the previous turbines. You requested improved efficiency, increased power and perfect sealing out of the box. This turbine can handle more extreme environments, pressures, temperatures and it can handle steam with ease. No brass comes in to contact with the medium and its aluminium and stainless steel construction is ideal if you are experimenting with ammonia gas.

Steam engines are external combustion engines, where the working fluid is separate from the combustion products. Non-combustion heat sources such as solar power, nuclear power or geothermal energy may be used. The ideal thermodynamic cycle used to analyse this process is called the Rank Cycle. In the cycle, water is heated and transform into steam within a boiler operating at a high pressure. When expanded through pistons or turbines, mechanical work is done. The reduced-pressure steam is then condensed and pumped back into the boiler gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=STEAMENGINEKITMake Your Own Music Paper Strip Music boxgyroscopes2021-10-29 | Music boxes have been used and adored for decades, and they’re heartfelt gifts that never get old.

Mesmerizing to watch as you flip it over time and time again. Designed in a classic style. Too many uses to list! gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=SANDTIMER15Magnetic Sand timergyroscopes2021-10-17 | The magnetic sand timer makes instant magnetic sand sculptures. The sand timer is made from glass and the base is made from metal, while the sand itself is made from iron filings. As the sand falls into the bottom half of the glass it forms magnetic sculptures due to the hidden magnet in the base. Tilting the timer can alter the shapes it makes. Typically the structure starts of craggy and ends up being a spiky surfaced hemisphere. Good fun and very decorative. gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=MAGSANDTIMER1.5CC Horizontal Gas Enginegyroscopes2021-10-17 | This is the simplest engine in the range. It is single cylinder horizontal engine with short exhaust pipes. As with all the engines in the range its runs off butane or propane (or a mix of both) which is stored in a gas tank on the baseplate. This is refilled in between runs. With the help of the flywheel the engine can be started easily using just your thumb and index finger. A simple turn of a knob on the gas tank and flick the flywheel, then adjust the knob for the correct speed and to rev the engine.
The baseplate and engine are made from anodized aluminum. The cylinder liner and pistons consist of hardened steel which ensures a long life span. The flywheel is polished brass. The ignition system uses Piezo crystal which requires no batteries.
The model engine comes complete and ready to run. Gas is not supplied but it can run of any butane or propane source.

The customer had two specially made gyroscopes. Each gyroscope was machined from 40kg+ of brass. The whole experience including the machining and trip to Spain was filmed for documentary. This very quick video gives an insight into the trip. Fantastic experience! I can’t wait to share with you more on what this project is about.

This 1/2 scale reproduction of Maxwell's Dynamical Top finely handcrafted from solid brass and tool steel stands just over 5.5" high and will delight both the discerning collector and the historical scientific enthusiast.
Fully functional with 9 adjusting screws, an adjustable axle and brass bob, finished to a high level by skilled artisans, it makes for a beautiful display piece as well as a functional demonstration of Newton's laws of motion.
While not its intended purpose, the dynamical top can also demonstrate forced precession. Touching a patterned piece of wire to the steel tip results in the tip tracing around the wire due to the resulting torque experienced. gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=MAXWELL1
